Inverness CT vs Peterhead Predictions

• Caley Thistle drew 1-1 with Premiership Aberdeen in their most recent friendly.
• Blue Toon lost 2-0 at home to Premiership Hearts in League Cup.
• Caley Thistle have won five of their past six home League Cup games (Drawn 1).
• Peterhead have won only one of their last six away League Cup matches (Drawn 3, lost 2).

Blue Toon can boost returns with an away goal

Inverness CT open their Scottish League Cup campaign on Tuesday when they entertain Peterhead.

The Championship side are set to field a strong side against their League One visitors, who began their Group A schedule with a home defeat to Hearts on Saturday.

Jim McInally’s men competed well against the Premiership newcomers but the Jambos’ cutting edge in the final third proved the difference against a makeshift Blue Toon side without two suspended players.

Midfielder Scott Brown and defender Jason Brown are able to return on Tuesday, although Peterhead lost Andy McCarthy to as hamstring injury in the last throes of the Hearts defeat.

Inverness CT drew 1-1 against Aberdeen in a pre-season bounce game last week and will expect to beat their lower-level opposition.

The hosts have a solid home record in this competition with five wins in their last six at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium.

The Blue Toon scored in away League Cup ties against Premiership Dundee United in 2020 and Championship Raith Rovers the season before and can register here to boost the odds on a home win.

We like the look of a 2-1 Inverness CT success as the hosts have conceded in three of their last five home League Cup games.
